Relentless

afternoon - 16 River Trail/BH.  The heat is on.  It always takes a run or two for me to remember how prepared you really need to be for the heat.  This run was it.  Went out after 3 1/2 hours of outdoor volleyball (that couldn't have helped - but XC did take 2nd!) and went down the trail with no hat or sunglasses or water.  Used the parks to drink and soak down my shirt, but it wasn't enough.  I was spent at the end.  (Kinvara 650.65)

AM - 10 Junction.  After a night of cramping and trying to rehydrate, I finally got up in the morning and ran.  Feeling the effects of yesterday's adventure and took it very easy.  (Triumph silver 710.55)

afternoon - 5 Parkway.  I said it would be a couple runs in the heat to start figuring things out.  I was much more prepared today - even had a water bottle, until I forgot it in my office.  But it wasn't as bad today: not as warm, breezy, and I went much shorter.  (Hyper Speed 228.25)

AM - 13 Clyde's Secret.  With no rush to school today, hit a little longer loop with the Circle.  Legs are in need of an ice bath.  (F50 196.5)

afternoon - 6.5 Grapevine.  Not too shabby out; pretty breezy though.  Took it up the Grapevine hill for a little extension.  Want to work on a little ascent/descent - probably on Friday.  First day of summer... First nap of summer - I am batting 1.000!  (NB 110 177) 

AM - 13 Prospector.  A real nice morning run watching the sun rise over Zion.  Saw a coyote and a snake, and a Steven as I was finishing.  Legs are a little spent.  Need to get them in the ice.  (NB 101 542.75)

 AM - Icehouse.  Took a long way to Icehouse and then ran up 2x's.  I was a bit tired and both the ascent and descent were pretty sluggish, but maybe not as bad as I thought.  First time up was 7:02 then 6:51 2nd time (from sign to sign).  Down I wasn't getting my feet up enough and quick enough, but didn't wipe out luckily; 3:58 and 3:53.  (NB 110 189)

Decided today would be a single - would benefit a lot more from the rest of a single than the 4-5 miles in the afternoon. 

AM - 15 Fields Loop.  Nice easy run with Logan this morning.  We are both a little tired and I know I am really hoping that the upcoming week will refresh my legs a little bit.  (Connect 194.75)

Week was not too bad.  Got some decent mileage in and didn't kill myself.

Goals for next week: freshen up the legs and then kill Squaw!
